Continents International University is an online school based in Missouri that offers master’s degree programs you can complete from home. If you need a graduate degree but cannot attend classes on a fixed schedule, this kind of program may fit your life.
The main advantage is flexibility. You set your own study schedule and work through courses at your own pace. There is no commute and no campus you must visit. Course materials are available online, so you can study from anywhere with an internet connection. That makes it possible to keep working or caring for family while you study. Read about the benefits of flexible online learning and why students choose this online degree format.
Before you enroll, check the accreditation status carefully. The university is not accredited. In July 2024 it was granted candidacy for accreditation from IACBE, the International Accreditation Council for Business Education, a programmatic accreditor for business programs that was founded in 1997 and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. The candidacy period runs through July 31, 2029. Candidacy is an early step toward accreditation. It does not mean the programs are accredited. See what IACBE accreditation means so you understand the difference.
On cost, the site describes an annual tuition model rather than per-credit billing, as explained in its breakdown of the annual tuition model. Compare the total yearly cost with other online master’s programs and ask exactly what is included before you commit.
